Pacman "Unknow" package

Hey, today i have updated my system (pacman -Syu ) , and i recieved like 5 updates about xorg components. After  the update i noted that if i enter "pacman -Qm" i got an output with the packages that are not found on official repositories (normally this packages are from AUR), this is the output:
archey3 20110303-1
elementary-gtk-theme 2.1-5
elementary-icons 2.6-3
gtk-engine-equinox 1.30.2-2
gtk-engine-murrine-git 20110302-1
oblogout 0.2-7
splashy-full 0.3.13-7
splashy-themes 0.4-1
tintwizard 0.3.4-2
xorg-res-utils 1.0.3-3
I've installed all of this packages from AUR except for one, the last one "xorg-res-utils" that is not found on official repositories or AUR, is safely to remove this packages? or maybe is just a temporal server error? Because is not on offical or AUR repositories
Thanks for your time

  • Can you auto install deps when using pacman -U package.tar.gz

    I have built a few packages from AUR on one of my systems. I would like to install those packages on other systems. pacman -U package.tar.gz will fail if there are unsatisfied dependencies. I have been using pacman -S --asdep dep1 dep2 ...  to install the dependencies. Then pacman -U completes successfully. 
    Is there some way to do this with a single command that I am looking over?

    Okay great. That will be a nice addition.
    I'm 2 days into Arch moving from Gentoo.  Not missing portage at all
    Thanks for the quick reply Allan!

  • [SOLVED] pacman: which package should I install for a given file?

    Hi there!
    I'm still trying to learn arch's essentials. A question coming up frequently is:
    Say I know I need file /usr/bin/zipinfo. How do I find out which package it's delivered in? The only thing remotely similar in the wiki is
    pacman -Qo /path/to/a/file
    but this only works for already installed packages. So what next?
    Best wishes,
    Rufus
    P.S.: google told me the package is called unzip so that's not the problem. Still, there has to be some way to get this information from the command line.

    brilliant, thanks! I could have figured it's not a standard pacman function (since the situation is similar with debian's apt-get).
    Maybe this is worth a mention on pacman's wiki page. This is the first time arch's fabulous wiki let me down

  • [SOLVED] Make Pacman cache packages installed with -U

    When installing a package with -U, pacman doesn't cache packages as it does when installing with -S. Is there a way to change this behavior?
    I read somewhere that specifying the package's full path and prepending "file://", as in "pacman -U file://path/to/package.pkg.tar.xz", but this often complains of an "invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)".
    How can I make pacman always copy installed packages to the cache?

    You can't.  This has been discussed on the bugtracker several times.
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35699
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31243
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15143
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18012
    If you're building the packages yourself with makepkg, you can set PKGDEST to your cache in makepkg.conf.  Otherwise you could write a small pacman wrapper that copies the package after installing it.

  • [useless, SOLVED] Pacman shows package corrupted while upgrading

    I pacman -Syu'ed my system after a week & there was these error of cyclic dependancy while installing gcc package. So, I issued this command:
    sudo pacman -S gcc gcc-libs gcc-ada gcc-fortran gcc-objc libtool
    While instaling, it showed that gcc's package is corrupted.
    But, later I tried installing it using
    sudo pacman -U gcc-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-libs-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-ada-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-fortran-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-objc-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libtool-2.4
    and it installed correctly.
    It seems like local repo had the wrong md5 of the gcc package. How come?

  • [Solved] Using pacman's package signing correctly

    When pacman 4 first came out, I just merged the pacnew file so that package signing was disabled. I did initialise the keys etc. but I didn't import or sign the master keys or enable signature checks.
    So tonight I figured I would start seeing how this worked. I took the fingerprints from the master key list on archlinux's site and I checked they matched the fingerprints listed on Allan's blog. I then imported the five master keys using pacman-key, signed them locally and used --edit-key to assign each of the five marginal trust.
    I then commented out the "Never" line for package signing in pacman.conf so that it would use the compiled in default to make signatures optional but check them if available. I also set PackageRequired for the core repository.  I left the other repos I have enabled to default to the default policy as I think signing isn't complete for them.
    I then ran pacman -Syu. This mostly went OK but I'm slightly worried about this bit:
    error: gsm: key "7F2D434B9741E8AC" is unknown

    :: Import PGP key F04569AE, "Giovanni Scafora <[email protected]>", created 2011-10-15? [Y/n] y
    I initially thought I was just telling pacman to import the keys but now I'm wondering if I also told it to trust them and if I wasn't meant to do that? Should they have been automatically handled if they were signed correctly? I was trying to follow the instructions on Allan's blog which show this question and Allan answering yes. However, I now realise that I got confused and that that bit comes *before* Allan imports and trusts the master keys, but I'd already done that at this point. (But it didn't complain they were untrusted once imported...)
    Could somebody either reassure me that I did this correctly (securely)? Or advise me on how to undo it if that's what I should do?

    I followed Allan's guide on page
    http://allanmcrae.com/2011/12/pacman-pa … rch-linux/
    and pacman -Syu gave:
    error: xorg-bdftopcf: signature from "Allan McRae <[email protected]>" is marginal trust
    Which is suprising as his key is one of master keys. Currently several master keys were revoked.
    Based on GPG's output it is maybe requires some additional input to mark the revoked key as trusted:

  • Pacman: install package from local disk withou database refresh

    Basically what it says in the title.
    I've just installed Arch on a notebook that doesn't have a working ethernet jack. To get wifi working I need wpa-supplicant, so I downloaded the package using another machine. When I try to install it with pacman -U wpa-supplicant.pkg.tar.xz, pacman complains it doesn't have a database (which is probably right since I f*cked up /var), and without a network connection I can't do a pacman -Syu.
    Can I force pacman to do the install, or do I have to install wpa-supplicant manually?

    There is not point in rebuilding the wpa_supplicant.  If you are going to manually install it and you have the built package, just manually install the prebuild binary you already have.
    I am not sure if manually installing is the best approach, but if it is just unpack the package, then copy the files to the appropriate place in the root directory.
    When you get up and running, you will need to delete these and install wpa_supplicant via pacman - or you you could use --force for this one single package: pacman --force -S wpa_supplicant in order to overwrite the existing conflicting files.
    I suspect there is a better means to regenerate a simple starter database.  You can download the sync databases from your mirror manually.

  • Collection of pacman- and package-related scripts.

    I have uploaded a small collection of simple package-related scripts that has been growing on my system. I have posted (variations of) most of them around the forum in response to different threads.
    Some examples:
    * detect incomplete packages (i.e. packages missing installed files)
    * recursively list unpackages files in a given directory (e.g. can be used to find leftover packages in /usr)
    * extract original version of file from package cache (e.g. to see what a configuration file was before you butchered it)
    * clean custom package cache while keeping a certain number of versions for each package
    etc.
    You can get them here: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/scripts/pkg/. If there is enough interest I will probably package these.
    There is now a package. You can find repo and AUR links here: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/pkg_scripts/

    Um - you do know about "pacman -Qk"  (or -Qqk for less noise).
    Note, in the upcoming pacman-4.1 pacman will confirm file size, permissions, ownership, creation times, symlink targets.  Checksum checking needs additional libarchive support.
    As I said, these are scripts that have collected over time. I don't bother to delete them whenever Pacman catches up.
    But yeah, when I posted this thread, I didn't have that in mind.

  • How does he know ? (pacman and package names)

    i take a package from pacman cache on box 1
    i rename it from say xorg-1.4.0.pkg.tar.gz to xorg14-1.4.0.pkg.tar.gz
    i pacman -U it on box 2
    pacman on box 2 : upgrading xorg ###############33
    how does he know its xorg and not xorg14 ? (there seem to be only the actual files of the application inside)
    how do i rename the package so that pacman really understands its xorg14 and not xorg ?

    several reasons
    i hate ignorepkgs (and the trouble they can make if some dependency escapes out of what you ignorepkg'd)
    i have multiple (varying between 5 - 9) boxes that run arch + 3 family / friends boxes with arch that i am the support guy for. when a bad or unexpected update was out (dhcpcd kde4 xorg lib/include/asm etc) it was bad for most or all of the boxes - so i want a solution for all at once
    i install from scratch a lot (i naturally have skill of breaking my system to irrecoverable state and with the recent updates of arch its even more cause i swap hard drives). i prefer to have a custom mirror on my usb flash drive
    i want to be able to give this mirror easily to others too - like that guy that made the kde 3 mirror

  • Lost Pacman Installed Package Databse

    On one of my Arch machines I seemed to have lost something for Pacman as 'Pacman -Q' gives absolutely no results. 
    I've searched on both the forum & the wiki but I guess I'm too stupid to get the right search term to come up with anything.  I still have the packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and a lot in /var/lib/pacman, so I don't know what it is I lost.
    Any ideas guys?

    An improvement on rdt's script. This assumes (as did his) that package names do not have spaces in them.
    It has the advantages of:
    - replace 4 calls in a pipe with 1 call
    - does not report packages that were removed since being installed
    - is hopefully easier to read
    - checks the correct column for 'upgraded' or 'installed' and not the entire line, ie will not report a line that says something along the lines of "warning: we upgraded your rc file"
    awk '
      $3 == "installed" || $3 == "upgraded" { pkg[$4] = 1 }
      $3 == "removed" { pkg[$4] = 0 }
      END { for (i in pkg) if ( pkg[i] == 1 ) print i; }

  • Pacman - Synchronizing package databases

    Hello folks,
    pacman does not update my system. The last time I did 'pacman -Syu' was on the 23-08-2011, but I can see that there are updates for core and so on.
    When I force pacman to update the package list with 'pacman -Syy' or when I try to update the system I will get something like
    pacman -Syy
    :: Synchronizing package databases...
    core 0.8K 8.2K/s 00:00:00 [##] 100%
    extra 0.8K 1004.6K/s 00:00:00 [##] 100%
    community 0.8K 1134.7K/s 00:00:00 [##] 100%

    archlinuxfr 24.3K 368.0K/s 00:00:00 [##] 100%
    The databases for core, extra, community and multilib are very small and i guess that's the cause that my system does not update.
    The mirrorlist seems to be OK.
    Any suggestions on how to update the package database to update the system again. Has it something to do with the latest pacman update?
    Thanks!

  • Proxy for pacman- download packages once for all machines

    Hello.
    I have a network with several machines and a server, all running Arch.
    The server is also the internet gateway.
    At the moment, all machines download all the packages they need independantly of each other, so many packages are downloaded several times. I could have one machine update all packages and then run a feed from /var/lib/pacman for all the others to update from, but then I must somehow make sure that all needed packages are on that machine. If I get another machine to install a new package it will either- not find it, or download it from the net and store it locally. Then any other machine that wants it will again be downloading it's own copy.
    What pacman needs is some sort of proxy server. I run this on my server. Then on all other machines pacman is set to use that proxy. Whenever another machine requests a package or package list, the proxy downloads it and stores it on my server, then lets the client know that it's available from my servers feed.
    Maybe there is already something like this?
    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    Local Mirror HOWTO on Wiki is an overkill. All you need is any network filesystem. I use fuse-based sshfs. There is also shfs kernel module but it was much less stable last time I tried.
    Just mount /var/cache/pacman/pkg on your client machines to /var/cache/pacman/pkg on your server. Then you'll have shared package cache. It is so simple!
    You can even mount /var/lib/pacman/{current,extra,testing,community,unstable} the same way. Then you can do pacman -Sy only once.
    Note that you need to patch your initscripts if you want to mount right from fstab on boot. See bug report #4681 (I'm not sure if I updated it for the latest initscripts release). I hope this will be included soon.
    PS: if I'll have more time I'll write a little howto on wiki.

  • Pacman sort packages

    Is there an option to sort packages via installation date ?
    i can see all the details with
    pacman -Qi
    but i cant find a way to sort them up
    In a paranoid moment i wrote this:
    pacman -Qi | grep -E '^Name|^Install Date' | awk -F":" '{print $2}' | sed '0~1s/$/ - /g' | sed '0~2s/ - $/#/g' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/#/\n/g' | sort -k2 -d

    ebal wrote:pacman -Qi | grep -E '^Name|^Install Date' | awk -F":" '{print $2}' | sed '0~1s/$/ - /g' | sed '0~2s/ - $/#/g' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/#/\n/g' | sort -k2 -d
    Okay, I have something that seems to work okay. It outputs the same information, but I'd argue the underlying code is a bit nicer. It's structured in a more logical way that should make it easier to modify, eg with additional fields from "pacman -Qi".
    #! /bin/bash
    function pacfield() {
    pacman -Qi | awk -vF="$@" -F':' 'BEGIN{p="^"F} $0~p{print $2}'
    pr -tm <(pacfield Name) <(date --file=<(pacfield "Install Date") +%F) | sort -k2 -d

  • Pacman or package bug with codecs-20061022-1

    I have noticed that every time I do a pacman -Syu, pacman insists on upgrading the package codecs-20061022-1 from extra/multimedia. Now, I have no idea whether this is a local issue or a bug. Just wondering if anyone has this issue. My search on the forums and in the bug reports gave nothing.
    Cheers.

    Outputs are:
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20060611-1/desc:%VERSION%
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20060611-1/desc-20060611-1
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20061022-1/desc:%VERSION%
    /var/lib/pacman/local/codecs-20061022-1/desc-20061022-1
    and:
    %VERSION%
    20061022-1
    Cheers.
